Tom,

Funny you just posted these pic's. The first one was Bob Glidden's car that Brandon & Turnage bought and made it the Nitro 9 car. Then my uncle Jeff Velde bought it in '75. I grew up with that car. We lost track of it in the late 80's. Then low and behold, I was selling a car at Mecum Kissimmee last weekend and it was parked a couple row's over painted in the Ed Martin Ford livery. It sold for $87,000.

As far as the second car I don't know. But the third is Carl Holbrook's car. My uncle introduced me to him at the '79 or '80 Gatornationals and Carl had that car then while my uncle had the Nitro 9 car so they aren't the same car. All I know for now, great memories!!!
